1305.1623 (Francisco Campanario et al.)

WZ production in association with two jets at NLO in QCD    [PDF]

Francisco Campanario, Matthias Kerner, Le Duc Ninh, Dieter Zeppenfeld
We report on the calculation of $W^\pm Zjj$ production with leptonic decays at hadron-hadron colliders at next-to-leading order in QCD. These processes are important both to test the quartic gauge couplings of the Standard Model and because they constitute relevant backgrounds to beyond standard model physics searches. Our results show that the next-to-leading order corrections reduce significantly the scale uncertainties and have a non-trivial phase space dependence.
